I finally finished this book! I bought it when I met Orson Scott Card at All Staff Day and started reading it right away, but it is 662 pages and I kept having to set it aside for library books that I was reading. I really liked this book. It is classic OSC. Book 2 in this series just came out and I'll be anxious to read it. I really liked the direction that it was going when it ended and can't wait to read more.

Interesting urban fantasy has all the old gods trapped on earth with diluted power because the magical gates to their lands have been long closed by the gate-mage Loki. The gods vow to kill any new gate-mages because of Loki's treachery. Along comes young Danny, who - with his strong gate-mage abilities - has the possibility to guide the old gods back from exile, but who is sentenced to be executed for his magic. Danny escapes and must make his way in the world, experimenting with his magic and trying to learn about his craft from other exiles. An intriguing series opener with the potential for great sequels.

well....let's see here is what I learned: avoid the Chillingsworth's of the world. They are the most terrifying people ever and especially don't marry one (that's a whole other subject), it's the coldnes--my English professor described Chillingworth's activities as "digging the finger that he pointed at her into her soul...penetrating everything and healing nothing" Also, the letter that is assigned does not, in any way, describe us. We wear it with dignity, we change the meaning and we learn from what it supposedly represents. We are more than the labels assigned to us. What letter, exactly, would the men of the novel worn.....hmmmmmm

Awesome awesome book. Greg Mortenson's story is inspiring. The author doesn't sugar-coat what happened, but instead shows how Mortenson dealt with the trials and persisted. Gave me a much better understanding of Pakistan, it's fighting on the border with India, and Afghanistan.

This review was originally posted on my blog and has bee edited slightly. This was the second book in the series, I hadn’t read the first when I started this, but while I’m sure it would’ve filled in more of the background of the story, Wild Desire was okay as a standalone read. That being said, I’m now going to go back and read the first one, (Wild Heart). This was a lot of fun, kind of what you might get if you crossed Indiana Jones with a romance novel. Lots of swashbuckling adventure and swoony romance. I liked both of the characters, they were well developed. Bea isn’t your typical shrinking violet, she’s innocent about much of what goes on in the world, but at the same time she wants to get out there and have adventures. I enjoyed her headstrong nature and her pluckiness. She was a fun character to get to know. Colin is rather lovely as well, a little bit anti-hero, in the beginning he’s more interested in finding the treasure he’s after. But as the story progresses and Bea and Colin grow closer his priorities change. He’s very much the ‘man’, cocky, stubborn and he quite likes to push Bea’s buttons. I love when the two of them first meet - he’s rolling drunk and she’s buck nekkid! The main characters have great chemistry together and I really enjoyed the way they bounced off one another, whether it was in teasing or flirting. Both characters have been hurt in the past, so it was great to see them deal with what held them back and move forward in their relationship. I started this on the plane heading to ARRC2011 and I spent the whole plane trip cackling like a crazy lady – all signs of a good book in my mind. There’s lots of lovely tension between the couple, one scene that springs to mind is when Colin and Bea get caught up in a street riot, and Colin has to cut Bea’s corset off – just mmm wow! Smoldering comes to mind and when their consummation scene finally comes around – hells bells, it was sexy, sweet and heartbreaking all at the same time. One thing I didn’t expect was the paranormal theme running through it and to be honest it doesn’t take over the whole story, it’s only hinted at in the beginning, if anything it added to the adventure and danger that Colin and Bea were in. It isn’t mentioned at all in the blurb and I only found out ahead of time because I’d read another bloggers review of the book. The paranormal element is explored through Colin’s back story as the novel progresses. I would assume if you were reading this after the first book, there would be more knowledge of the paranormal side of things, but as I said earlier, it doesn’t detract from the story as a standalone or if you’re reading them out of order. If you don’t usual read paranormal, this would be a great introduction to it. The story at its heart is a historical romance, but it has lots of adventure and the paranormal helps to complete the novel. The only thing I don’t think gelled was the use of some of the language, towards the end Colin swears – shit, I think – nothing too out there, but it didn’t seem to fit with the story and on occasion Bea used ‘British’ insults and it seemed that these were only used because the character was from England. Nobody else may think anything of this but I know as an Aussie, people think we talk like Alf from Home & Away – think gratuitous use of cobber, stone the flaming crows, maaate, or you could listen to any number of Kevin Rudd’s speeches – he used slang quite a bit. It kind of pulled me out of the story a bit, but it was the swearing more so. Overall, this was so much fun to read and I’m really looking forward to reading Wild Heart. It was a fun, easy read, perfect for my holiday and it really set the tone for my holiday – lots of fun and adventure. It’s a great historical romance and I really enjoyed the paranormal elements of the story.

This was incredible. It was one of the 2 books that I have read that lived up to the hype I'd heard about it. Some of the sentences were like little deaths. So small and seemingly unimportant, but catastrophic. Incredible book--one I feel really lucky to have read.

As a mystery, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I had bought the book thinking it was a Templar Mystery (it said so on the cover) but instead it turned out to be a mystery about the household of King Edward II and that is why I gave it 4 stars. Its an interesting mystery that I read in one sitting because I enjoyed it very much.

Easy-to-read and fast-paced. The book held my interest until midway through the story-at that point the storyline became a bit predictable. Eh.

At first, I found this novel a little hard to get in to, I’m not sure why. It didn’t draw me in until probably around half way through. I think my problem lay in the fact that I found the main character Faythe a little frustrating. I Enjoyed the fact the book is about Were-cats, I’ve not read a novel which features heavily on Cats, so it was interesting to read some different. Don’t get me wrong, I love were-shifters and such, but it’s good to have variety! I enjoyed Faythe interaction with her Brothers. The story is brutal & quite dark at times & had me riveted towards the ending. I had a hard time tryingto rate this book, but I gave it 3 & a half stars. It’s not a bad read, and I will be continuing on to the next book in the series.
